FORM: Sending crystal
SENDER: Ellana Ashara
RECIPIENT: all with a crystal
WHAT: A fond farewell.
WHEN: forward dated a little closer to the Grand Tourney
WHERE: Kirkwall
NOTES: This is my last post for Ellana before I drop her at the end of the month, so your last chance to talk to her before she leaves! I've had her here since Day 1 and I want to say thank you to everyone I had CR with! <3

If any of you ever made a ridiculous bet that a Dalish elf would on day give a lecture at the University of Orlais, you're about to collect a lot of winnings.

[ Ellana sounds pretty amused about it herself. ]

Because I've been invited. For those who don't know, I've written a book on the Sulevin Blade, and the advanced copies are already out. Apparently the elven students there got a hold of it and, well, they'd like me to come talk about it. I've already gotten approval from Skyhold, and they suggested that I could continue my exploration of elven ruins in Orlais afterwards so... [ She pauses to take a breath.] This is it for me in Kirkwall, I'm afraid. I'll be reassigned to Suledin Keep from here on out.

To those who've been my friends from Skyhold to here, or who I met here: thank you, and I'll miss you greatly. I couldn't have had better friends, or a better introduction to the world outside of the clan than the one you all gave me. I was waiting for Skyhold to get back to me, so to stay on schedule, I'm actually leaving tomorrow when most of you will be leaving for the Grand Tourney too. I hope you all have fun! And I guess the only thing left to say is farewell. Dareth shiral.

Both! And if you're lucky, both at the same time. I can't imagine Orlesians protesting the idea of combining a little wine with education.

Ha, now I'm imagining myself staggering across the stage or behind the podium or whatever the set up will be, a glass of wine in one hand as I slosh it around. That would make a great first impression, wouldn't it?

[gatheringstorm]

With any luck, the rest will be too drunk to notice!

[serannas]

But hopefully not too drunk that they start heckling me! I do want them to listen to what I have to say.
